  • Publication number: 20060266184
    Abstract: A saw, such as a chop saw, a miter saw, a sliding saw, a compound miter saw, etc. In some constructions, the saw may include a miter adjustment assembly including a coarse adjustment assembly and a fine adjustment assembly. In some constructions, the saw may include a bevel adjustment assembly including a brake mechanism and a bevel detent assembly. In some constructions, the saw may include a dust collection assembly including a dust chute defining a dust both around the bevel arm. In some constructions, the saw may include a table having a top wall with a peripheral rim and a side wall depending from the top wall, and a base defining an opening in which the side wall is received and a ledge above which the rim is positioned. In some constructions, the saw may include elastomeric material covering a portion of the base, such as a bottom surface, a lateral surface, a grip surface, etc.

  • Patent number: 5220710
    Abstract: A clamping assembly constructed to hold an electrical cable or tube in a fixed position includes retaining and clamping members. A first surface of the retaining member, which may be made from a compliant material, has raised and lowered portions in a particular pattern. One end of the retaining member has a face transverse to the first surface of the retaining member with raised and recessed portions defining a mating relationship with the raised and recessed portions on the first surface of the retaining member. The clamping member may be made from a springlike material and may be disposed in an open loop in an unconstrained relationship. The clamping member may be disposed in a longitudinal slot in the retaining member so as to be encased by the retaining member. The retaining member may be slitted to communicate with the slot for facilitating the disposition of the clamping member in such slot.
